The Invisible Worm

Originally made for the show O Rose at Den Frie in Copenhagen, featuring Marie Lund and Rosalind Nashashibi, The Invisible Worm is a funny and serious film with spontaneous moments of joy, physicality and thinking aloud. The subtext of the film is the artists’ personae and how artist friends lean in to one another, leading to both innocent and corrupted effects. Nashashibi’s long term collaborator Elena Narbutait is the film’s protagonist and co-writer, and other artist protagonists include a male model, Nashashibi’s teenage son Pietro and a cat called Aloysha. Marie and Rosalind appear, as do their works, their studios and the galleries of Den Frie.
